this cruise ship is very beautiful. the restaurants and lounges are all beautiful. the public restrooms are spotless and again beautiful. my shower was amazing (5 shower jets) and the bed was so comfortable. that is about the extent of my happiness on this ship! we spent about $8000.00 for a family of four because of all the amenities that we like are NOT included in my already expensive room. when i arrived i had to ask housecleaning to re clean my room. there was dust on all the furniture, and coffee pot. and there was shaved short hair on the bathroom floor (gross!!!) it is entirely over crowded. we never got near the pool (traveling with 2 kids). every time my oldest son was on line to get on the high ropes, he waited 45 minutes then it would rain, closing the high ropes (completely understandable) but afterwards there was no fast tracking the line! he did this 3 times and 3 times it was shut down just as he was next! very frustrating! my youngest just wanted to get on the trampoline but it was always closed or broken. the basketball courts are taken over by teen agers and never was it free to use. nor a ball in sight to grab. the restaurants all serve the same thing. unless you upgrade to the ultimate dining package (which we did approx $500) and do not even get me started on the garden cafe! my massage was wonderful, but it is below the gym's weight room so all i heard was Bang, Bang... nice and relaxing! i paid over $400 for 2 massages, then if i wanted to get into the spa (where all the saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs are) i had to pay another 200 per person. so basically there is another $800 right there!

basically if your looking for a high end vacation, because that is what you'll spend on this trip. it is not at all worth the money. you can experience a high end vacation for that kind of money and it is sadly not on board the breakaway. its really over crowded
